Rebecca & Drew: You will need your bra size for this one!
Last weekend, while attending The Blueprint for Style
fashion event here in NYC, I was introduced to a company that is definitely
offering something unique: a customizable dress shirt for women based on bra
size and height.
It’s called the Trio-Fit method and Rebecca & Drew
Manufacturing have nailed this down to a science. First, they determine your
correct bra size and then they take your height to determine whether you are
long or regular. Simply put, the trio-fit system takes bra-size, height and
body shape to create a nearly custom fit.
However, the customization doesn’t stop there. You still have the option to pick the style of the shirt or dress, the collar, the cuffs, the sleeve length, the buttons and the list goes on. You can even get custom embroidery anywhere on the garment. As shown in the images below, my favorite detail to these shirts is the placement of the buttons. NO MORE SAFETY PINNING THE BUST AREA!! That’s music to my ears. My button down shirts always pull at the bust and it drives me crazy. That could possibly be why I wear so few business shirts.
I do think Rebecca & Drew are on to something great that
many women can appreciate. Shirts are roughly $195. However, they are offering
a 20% discount on all orders until December 31, 2009 just use the code: SAVVYLADIES. So if this is something
you are interested in then go for the discount and let Trendier know what you
think.

Pier Eleven- Bringing Fashion and Art Together!
You can't dock your boat at this Pier Eleven, but you can purchase
artfully crafted “alternate wearable narratives.” Emphasis on the “artfully” as
these clothes are designed by artists hand picked from around the world. And
like any work of art, the more it's coveted, the more its worth.
Derived from the Pier 11 in New York City down by Wall Street, this Pier Eleven is set to bring the world of fashion and art together. (Use the code: pier11eleven to access the site) The idea behind this up-and-coming company is a complex one.
Each collection is comprised of a theme and piece. Artists, from around the world, with unique and vastly different styles, come together to create the pieces that will be showed in each collection.
What is so different about this company you might ask. Well, each piece in a current collection has a set price of $90. Once that collection is archived and the next collection is presented, the archived pieces are then subject to a complex logarithm that was explained as a “dynamic pricing model (DPM).” This DPM increases the prices of the archived pieces according to supply and demand. Confused yet? Simply put, once no longer a part of the current collection, the most popular pieces become more and more expensive as demand continues to go up.
One of the creators poses the question: “At what point is a consumer no longer buying a piece of clothing but buying into a piece of art?”
Each collection is artfully crafted and profound in many ways but something I found interesting about the actual clothing is that the current shirts have tags on the outside to represent a mobile gallery, similar to the tags you find in a museum next to a piece of art.
The first collection uses black and white photography to express the theme while the second collection, which will launch sometime this January, will use audio to convey its theme.
Who knows, maybe the next time you purchase a piece of clothing, you might just be investing in your next piece of art.
